Brief Description:  Received Group #1 Kit

After months of waiting, I finally received my Sarafi Helicopter Quick Build Group #1 kit. The 1st group includes the prefabed cabin with mounted bubble, flight controls and the tail boom assembly. Group #2 will include the main and tail rotor transmission, main and tail rotor blades and main/tail rotor heads. I plan to have the 0-360 engine and the radios before Group 2 arrives.Now the bad news.... After I unscrewed the plywood crates I noticed that the kit had been damaged in transit. The tailboom frame had a bent member and 3 belly/side cabin panels apparently had forklift damage (see photos). Not the start I had hoped for.I immediately contacted the factory and the shipping company and then took lots of photos. The factory has been very supportive and is currently working with the truck line for resolve the claim. I'm pretty much at a stand still until I find out if the damaged parts have to be returned. I do intend to remove the cabin assembly from the crate this weekend to get a better look at the damage.
